The REAL Reason for Climate Change

The REAL reason for climate change is explained scientifically, for skeptics…

Milankovitch (Orbital) Cycles and Their Role in Earth's Climate

By Alan Buis,
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Our lives literally revolve around cycles: series of events that are repeated regularly in the same order. There are hundreds of different types of cycles in our world and in the universe. Some are natural, such as the change of the seasons, annual animal migrations or the circadian rhythms that govern our sleep patterns. Others are human-produced, like growing and harvesting crops, musical rhythms or economic cycles.

Cycles also play key roles in Earth’s short-term weather and long-term climate. A century ago, Serbian scientist Milutin Milankovitch hypothesized the long-term, collective effects of changes in Earth’s position relative to the Sun are a strong driver of Earth’s long-term climate, and are responsible for triggering the beginning and end of glaciation periods (Ice Ages).

Specifically, he examined how variations in three types of Earth orbital movements affect how much solar radiation (known as insolation) reaches the top of Earth’s atmosphere as well as where the insolation reaches. These cyclical orbital movements, which became known as the Milankovitch cycles, cause variations of up to 25 percent in the amount of incoming insolation at Earth’s mid-latitudes (the areas of our planet located between about 30 and 60 degrees north and south of the equator).

The Milankovitch cycles include:

1. The shape of Earth’s orbit, known as eccentricity;
2. The angle Earth’s axis is tilted with respect to Earth’s orbital plane, known as obliquity; and
3. The direction Earth’s axis of rotation is pointed, known as precession.
4. Eccentricity – Earth’s annual pilgrimage around the Sun isn’t perfectly circular, but it’s pretty close. Over time, the pull of gravity from our solar system’s two largest gas giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, causes the shape of Earth’s orbit to vary from nearly circular to slightly elliptical. Eccentricity measures how much the shape of Earth’s orbit departs from a perfect circle. These variations affect the distance between Earth and the Sun.

Eccentricity is the reason why our seasons are slightly different lengths, with summers in the Northern Hemisphere currently about 4.5 days longer than winters, and springs about three days longer than autumns. As eccentricity decreases, the length of our seasons gradually evens out.

The difference in the distance between Earth’s closest approach to the Sun (known as perihelion), which occurs on or about January 3 each year, and its farthest departure from the Sun (known as aphelion) on or about July 4, is currently about 5.1 million kilometers (about 3.2 million miles), a variation of 3.4 percent. That means each January, about 6.8 percent more incoming solar radiation reaches Earth than it does each July.

When Earth’s orbit is at its most elliptic, about 23 percent more incoming solar radiation reaches Earth at our planet’s closest approach to the Sun each year than does at its farthest departure from the Sun. Currently, Earth’s eccentricity is very slowly decreasing and is approaching its least elliptic (most circular), in a cycle that spans about 100,000 years.

Obliquity – The angle of Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted as it travels around the Sun is known as obliquity. Obliquity is why Earth has seasons. Over the last million years, it has varied between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees with respect to Earth’s orbital plane. The greater Earth’s axial tilt angle, the more extreme our seasons are, as each hemisphere receives more solar radiation during its summer, when the hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and less during winter, when it is tilted away. Larger tilt angles favor periods of deglaciation (the melting and retreat of glaciers and ice sheets). These effects aren’t uniform globally -- higher latitudes receive a larger change in total solar radiation than areas closer to the equator.

Earth’s axis is currently tilted 23.4 degrees, or about half way between its extremes, and this angle is very slowly decreasing in a cycle that spans about 41,000 years. It was last at its maximum tilt about 10,000 years ago and will reach its minimum tilt about 10,000 years from now. As obliquity decreases, it gradually helps make our seasons milder, resulting in increasingly warmer winters, and cooler summers that gradually, over time, allow snow and ice at high latitudes to build up into large ice sheets. As ice cover increases, it reflects more of the Sun’s energy back into space, promoting even further cooling.

 

 

 

 

COVID: Is this why EVERYONE IS CONFUSED

 

"Peter" passed on some thoughts about the Covid crisis.

Me: AT RESTAURANT:

Hostess: OK, I can seat you at this table right here (4 feet away), but I will need you to wear a mask to the table.

Me: What happens when I get to the table?

Hostess: You can take off the mask.

Me: Then it is safe over there?

Hostess: Yes.

Me: Are those fans blowing above the table? Is that the air-conditioning I feel? Is the air circulating in here?

Hostess: No words.

 Confused look.

 

Me: AT GROCERY STORE: Why is there plastic on the payment keypad?

Cashier: To protect people from Covid.

Me: But isn’t everyone touching the plastic keypad the same way they would the regular keypad?Cashier: No words. Confused look.

 

Me: Why don't you pack the grocery bags anymore?Cashier: Because of covid-19 to reduce the spread of catching or spreading the virus.

Me: But a shelf packer took it out of a box and put it on the shelf, a few customers might have picked it up and put it back deciding they Don't want it, I put it in my cart then on the conveyor belt, YOU pick it up to scan it.. But putting it in a bag after you scan is risky??

Cashier: No words, confused look.

 

Me: AT A DRIVE-THRUServer: (holds a tray out the window with a bag of food for a logical friend to grab)

Me: Why is my bag of food on a tray?

Server: So I don’t touch your food because of Covid.

Me: Didn’t the cook touch my food? Didn’t the person wrapping my food touch it and then touch it again when placing it in my bag? Didn’t you touch the bag and put it on the tray? Didn’t you touch the tray?Server: No words. Confused look

 

And add the Costco people that can’t touch your Costco card but can scan all the food you put on the belt then take the money you hand them.. hmmm

 

Me: In SOCIETYSOCIETY: If you cough or sneeze do it in your elbow or sleeve,Also society: Don't shake hands or hug anyone or you will spread the virus. To greet people, do an elbow tap instead.

Me: Elbow tap? Isn't that where you tell people to sneeze or cough? into their elbow? Now you want people to tap each other with that elbow wouldn't it be safer to sneeze into the elbow and shake hands like we did before Covid?

 

SOCIETY: You are not allowed to stand and drink at the pub or bar, you have to sit down. But at the shopping center you are not allowed to sit down, all the chairs are roped off.Life is hard for logical people right now. We have raised a generation without the ability to process and execute logic. Common sense is very uncommon.*

 

* I didn’t write this but agree with it 100%!

 

 

 

 

Déjà Vu All Over Again

"Manx" has some thoughts about the impeachment.

There they go again - that toddling bunch marching somberly from The House to The Senate to file papers for Trump Impeachment Redux. What next? Is Biden going to pardon Trump and avert what really is a matter rapidly deteriorating into a constitutional crisis? A crisis bringing into question the propriety of impeaching a president who isn’t sitting? A crisis wherein the Chief Justice has declined to sit as judge? And those are just for starters.

Then there’s the question of what is McConnell really up to? Is he now 100% RINO looking for what he might believe is self-exoneration? Or does McConnell have something up his sleeve to undermine Pelosi and Schumer for the next two years? Time will tell.

The world hasn’t seen something like this for quite a while. And that’s not the while between the previous impeachment and this one. It’s the while harking back 1,124 years. The infamous Cadaver Synod when Pope Stephen VI exhumed the body of his forerunner Pope Formosus. Formosus had been dead some seven months. Stephen placed Fourmosus’ mouldering body, dressed in papal robes, on a chair sitting as the accused. Stephen presided over the trial. Formosus was accused of perjury and illegal status of Pope. Historians believe Stephen was guilty of the same things he was accusing. Stephen carried on screaming and shouting at Formosus. Stephen found Formosus guilty, stripped him of his vestments and had three rotten fingers on Fourmosus’ right hand chopped off. Last but not least Stephen ensured all of Formosus' acts and ordinations were invalidated..

Looks like Democrat legislators are the second coming of Stephen.

 

 

The Vaccine Snafu

"Manx" has some thoughts about the vaccine.

Let’s compare notes. First and foremost – I’m not sitting around convinced I’m going to end up as worm food if I don’t immediately get a COVID vaccination. Have to admit that I thought “Machiavelli has been put in charge of the guinea pig farm” when we heard powers to be were going to vaccinate prisoners first and put certain suppressed folk at the front of lines. Better thee than me ‘till  there’s more information  re. efficacy vs. adverse side effects.

So now we constantly hear about distribution and lack of vaccine. Until just recently the usual suspects were still trying to pin those problems on the former president. Not a lot of news but national distribution has actually gone quite well with people like Fred Smith of FedEx and powers to be at UPS stepping up to help DOD with national distribution.

So the vaccine has been distributed as fast as Pfizer and Moderna can produce it. Distributed to the States for onward distribution and eventual injection. Using the state of Washington as a measure of what’s going on a few observations have been made. Washington was blaming Trump for lack of vaccine. Uncle Sam put upwards of 900,000 doses in Washington’s hands. Ironically a local newsreader was blasting the former administration the other day while citing only 300,000 of the 900,000 available doses state-wide have been injected. But help is on the way. Legislators cloistered in their concertina wire reinforced state capitol building have come up with the answer. Simple. More money. Allot an additional $2.19 BILLION to COVID. Pretty simple formula – More $$$$ = more shots. There, it’s done. Next crisis please.

Have to wonder how our nation was able to so quickly and efficiently to get kids like me injected with the Salk vaccine. And to think we didn’t have the luxury of a website back then to find where and when to get a shot. Heck, I went to the directed starting point – the state site. Clicked where told and was taken to the county site. County site directed me to click on local city information. City information sent me to my provider. Provider’s site sent me back to state site. Looks like I’ll go blind staring at the monitor, my fingers will drop off hitting the keyboard and won’t have to worry about Wuhan Flu.

Alas Bill Gates was able to scratch and claw and ferret out an injection for himself here in Seattle as shown on TV yesterday.

How’re things going in your neck of the woods?

 

Mark of the Beast?

"Manx" has some thoughts about where the Covid crisis might be leading us.

Been quite interesting reading all the flap regarding COVID vaccines. Hurts like hell. Estimated effective for only three months. Etc, etc, etc.

All that aside it’s quite intriguing how government and business entities - across the globe - are looking at ways to enforce and monitor those who have and those who haven’t been immunized. Proof of needle poke = an ID card. No poke = no card. No card = leper colony. Quite interesting how Qantas airlines and other carriers who claim they’ll fall in line are spouting “No shot = no fly”. Sort of like “No tickee - no rawndry”.

Not a Bible banger but it does call up scary stories I recall from Sunday school. Stories from sexually frustrated spinster marms spelling out Hell and damnation for those who strayed and non-believers.

Had to look it up because like I said I’m not a “banger”. As codified in Revelation:

13:17 “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

No shot = screw off. Have a tattoo of the Beast or an ID card? You’re accepted.

We’re going to Hell in a hand basket .

The Future of Oil

"Ernie" has some thoughts about the oil industry.

I grew up with many strong family ties to oil industry.  From an oil well on our Kansas farm, to a relative who became senior VP of giant Halliburton, to my dad & brother owning service stations, to me eventually working for Gulf and ARCO.  I’ve watched us win 2 world wars, fight several wars in Asia and Mideast. Without major oil production, we would most likely lost them all.

 

    In the last 3.5 years I’ve watch America grow to be the #1 producer and oil exporter in the world. Primarily because we have a president that can’t be bought by the left, anti-capitalist greenies, and is too well informed to fall for the global warming fraud.

 

  As a reminder, the global warming scam was started by a UN dignitary (Maurice Strong) to promote a 1-world, 1-centralized government.  Of course in his plan the UN would serve as the seat of government power.  He, Gore and Few others would benefit by running a carbon offset exchange to be called the Chicago Carbon Exchange.  Google it.

 

    Just want to ask Greenies a few questions:

 

1.  What’s to become of service station owners, trucking companies and employees?

 

2.  Who’s going to pay for the massive need for more electric generating plants?  Oh yeah, we taxpayers.

 

3.  How many more will be needed?  Or do you plan to replace them with windmills and solar panels?  That ought look good.

 

4.  What’s to become of oil companies that explored, developed and refined oil into gas and hundreds of other oil based products?

 

5.    Will producers still be allowed to export oil and oil based products?

 

6.    Will we refit all military vehicles (planes, ships, tanks and other mobile equipment) to electric driven?

 

7.    Will militaries of Russia, China, Islamic terrorists, and others who want to take over America, refit all their war equipment?  If not we’re in deep excrement.

 

8.    Will all homeowners have to install recharge units in their garages.

 

9.    Will Ocrazio Cortez, Bernie and other sordid greenies finally shut up?  If so it might be worth doing.

 

I have other questions but I’ll running out of ink.

Follow the Money

 

"Peter" has some thoughts on politics and money.

 

In another life I investigated major frauds for a large metropolitan law enforcement agency. There was one primary rule that proved to be 99% effective in ferreting out perpetrators: Follow the money.

 

The Antifa and BLM soldiers work long hours risking injury or death, not to mention prison time. They are very well organized, with team leaders, medics and the weapons handlers who transport and issue baseball bats, Molotov cocktails, frozen water bottles, bricks and pepper spray. They also hand out water and snacks. They appear to be well funded.

 

The various organizations funding these operations all have one thing in common: George Soros fills their coffers. And young Alex Soros, George's son, is the honcho in the dark.

 

You may think it's all just left wing politics. Wrong. Soros is as greedy a person as you'll ever know. He's a billionaire with investments in diverse organizations like Amazon, PG&E, T-Mobile, Norton LifeLock, SelectQuotes and various broadband, consumer goods, consumer services and consumer health companies. Or are they diverse?

 

Large business districts in major cities are being virtually destroyed. The owners of the thousands of businesses will have to rebuild or fold. A majority will fold because of the lack of police services due to the "defund the police" movement imposed on the cities by radical left politicians and a lack of prosecutions by district attorneys who were directly funded by Soros in their elections. Who will profit?

 

People who patronized the city business district stores will start ordering their goods online. They will need broadband access, internet security software, credit cards, etc. They will turn to visiting their doctor online or by phone. The small business owners who decide to rebuild will need insurance. All this causes a shift in the paradigm of metropolitan life from brick and mortar stores to online stores, thus increasing the profits going to Soros.

 

There is a method to the madness of destruction and a reason the politicians are lying down on the job. When their real boss makes money, he shares it with them and increases his power accordingly.

 

Follow the money.

Coming Home from Work at 2:00 a.m.

"Rook" found this article.  The author is unknown.

A 74-year old man coming back home from work at 2AM while most men his age are retired in their vacation homes.
 
He comes back after a long day that probably started before the sun rose and gets back home exhausted with his tie open and hat in his hand feeling that an accomplished day is finally over.

That amazing man is in the age of many people’s fathers, grandfathers, even great grandfathers, but this man just came back home from work, for me, for you.

This man left his massive gold covered mansion where he could retire happily and play golf all day long.

But this man put his wealth aside and went to work for practically nothing, just $1 a year, for me, for you, for us, for AMERICA!

 

While other presidents became rich from their presidency, this man LOSTover 2 billion dollars of his wealth during these short 4 years of his life as our President.

He put aside his amazing retirement lifestyle, getting ambushed every single day by the media and the "Radical Progressive Leftist Democrats" by trashing this man who works for them until 2AM for free!

They could not achieve anything like this President has done for Americans.

He doesn't do it for money or power, he already had it.

No, he does it so we will be able to find jobs or start a new business.

He does it so they will be able to keep a few more dollars in their pockets at the end of the month, while other presidents before him made sure to dig into our pockets and empty them for more taxes.
 
Look at this picture again.

This man is at the age of your fathers, grandfathers or maybe YOU!

The American people are in a terrible place right now both in their hearts and souls. Trump is not the problem. "It's the radical progressive leftist Democrats!"

I bet there isn't a single Democrat of any political ideology or any chief executive that can keep up with this man and do what he does!

GOD help us!!

 

Marijuana the Wonder Drug

"Ernie" has some thoughts on marijuana.

Just got another email touting the miraculous healing abilities of cannabis (a non-hallucinating relative of marijuana).  Which, according to them was used by biblical icons thousands of years ago.  It’s what caused Methuselah to live to be 900.  I decided to read this one which turned out to be equal in length to War & Peace.  This concoction of cannabis and plant fluids (sap) is curing everything from cancer to ED.  The constant reference to the OT as the source of this discovery got me wondering.  If that’s true why didn't Christ Jesus use it to cure the thousands of people who begged him for help?  Like “ok Ishmael, go gather some leaves and plant juices from these cannabis plants, mixed them together, then either drink it or rub it on the area that hurts.  Give it a few minutes and you’ll be good as new.”  No, he prayed over them and then told them to go and sin no more.  Then he told his deciples; “Those who believe on me and obey God’s commandments, these things I do they can do likewise.  And even more can they do cause I go to be with the father.”  Gee, you’d think the eternal Christ would have known about the healing abilities of cannabis. 

 

  PS:  when I look around and see what’s happening to this country today, I really don’t think I want to live another 800 years.  But that’s just me.

Getting to the Bottom of the Covid Crisis

"Peter" has some thoughts on the Covid crisis.

Now  It is starting to make sense and the facts are getting uglier and uglier!

It isn’t just a coincidence that Remdesivir is made by Gilead and is the touted “Cure” for COVID-19. China holds the patent on the drug through an agreement with Gilead’s drug patent sharing subsidiary branch called UNITAID, who has an office near Wuhan. You’ll never guess who are the main financial investors in UNITAID: none other than George Soros, Bill & Melinda Gates, and WHO. I know what you’re thinking, "It’s just all a coincidence."

There's another "coincidence": that Gilead and UNITAID were financial supporters of Hillary Clinton. 

And yet another "coincidence": Dr. Fauci was the one authorizing millions to be sent to The Wuhan Institute of Virology specifically for the “study” of Corona viruses. I sure am thankful it’s all just "coincidences." Nothing to see here, just keep moving along....

No wonder  Dr. Fauci slapped down Hydroxychloroquine, which has a 92% success rate. Dr. Fauci's wife also works for Gilead. It's in his financial interest to criticize the competition. Hydroxychloroquine is a cheap and readily available alternative to the vastly more expensive Remdesivir. It would cost the Soros - Gates - Fauci cabal billions in lost profits.

The most interesting "coincidences" are always found when you follow the money. Does it make you ask questions?  Do your own research... could it all just be coincidence?

Here is a link to substantiate this…. 
https://civilianintelligencenetwork.ca/2020/02/12/george-soros-bill-gates-partner-with-china-on-coronavirus-drug/

 

Here’s the last paragraph from this link:

 

UNITAID is the UN and this is bio-warfare, where they control the drugs. China did not steal Gilead’s patent; Gilead was a willing participant, they are even working with the Chinese government on clinical trials. The question remains, how will this impact western nations that are excluded from the acquisition of lower-priced treatment drugs? Will our economies be held hostage to Chinese imperialism? And has the corona virus outbreak been the vehicle for George Soros, Bill Gates, and the United Nations to implement the New World Order? It sure looks like it! Checkmate!

 

North Korean Nukes in Venezuela? Yeah, that’s Good News

"Peter" has some thoughts on North Korean missiles.

 

It’s the Cuban missile crisis all over again. The soviet empire may be gone, but the Communist dream lives on.

 

https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2020/07/30/report-un-investigating-secret-military-deal-between-venezuela-north-korea/

 

And it’s very dangerous because Venezuela is really not that far away. And it’s insane illegitimate dictator, the COMMIE who refuses to accept the result of an election, is teaming up with the other illegitimate dictator, the commie who refuses to hold elections. 

 

Good god, we live in dangerous times. China saber rattling in the western Pacific, attacking the world with their viral bioweapon, enslaving country after country with their “belt and road.” North Korea and Venezuela teaming up militarily, trying to sneak up on us from our southern soft underbelly. Soros-financed subversives looting and burning our cities, locking down and wrecking our economy, keeping our schools closed, wrecking law enforcement, promoting vote fraud, persecuting dissidents, trying to provoke a civil war.

 

Yupp, this is precisely the right time to dump Trump and elect Biden.... NOT!!!!!!!
